Homeless people will get the chance to grow their own
food on a city allotment if a plan by a Derby MP gets support. Amanda Solloway
has put forward her City Growing Project where the community will work together
to grow food. Those who cannot pay will get it for free and other people will
receive items in return for a donation. Mrs Solloway said she wants Derby to be
known as a "city of compassion" in 2017. She said: "I would hope
there would also be provision for cooking, shower and storage facilities on
site and her plan includes professional cookery lessons and gardening lessons,
with the possibility of qualifications." Read more on the Derby Telegraph
